The Definition of Success

To me a man cannot be called successful in the real sense if he remains contended with a few successes, short-lived glories – attained during special moments in his life. A man can be called really successful if he succeeds in all that he does, even in the minutest of his actions; one who is always climbing a mountain, recognizing his competence and also minding his short-comings, but never looking back, never ever thinking of reaching the summit. He knows that he has been born to climb, only to go on ascending. Such should be success that yields no name or fame, but only shows the strife towards perfection, towards excellence.

“Every achievement is a servitude. It drives us to a higher achievement.” – Albert Camus

  2. Rightly said .
    Perhaps yer post is an extension to the concept of ' hunger philosophy '.No matter what , there just does'nt seem to be an end to brand someone successful.. When you have reached a level , the idea is to stay hungry n reach higher !
    Nice thought :)
